Paul Marsh, the chief executive of the Australian Cricketers’ Association, has cast doubt over Australia’s participation in the Champions Trophy, after the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to keep it in Pakistan despite security fears.

Marsh says Australia are assessing their position in the light of yesterday’s decision, which was made despite fears for the safety of the players in the venue cities of Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. And while Marsh says he is disappointed, he will seek further clarification on the situation before making a final decision.
